  2. Whenever #depleted #uranium (#DU) #ammunition is used, it leaves chemically and radiologically toxic residues.

    Says #UNEP, the #UN's Environmental Programme.

    See their flyer here:
    unep.org/resources/report/unep

    Using such ammunition on your own territory is basically an indirect warfare against yourself, with severe long-term consequences, without any chance of "cleaning up", afterwards. Because: nobody ever does, it's simply deemed too expensive.

  3. @NaturaArtisMagistra @ChrisO_wiki Excuse me, but it is not the plant that requires the water for #cooling, but the #depleted #nuclear #fuel.

    If not submersed in water, recently spent fuel rods will spontaniously heat into temperatures that will cause them to start to break down and become an environmental hazard.

    Contained in water, they pose very little risk because their structural integrity is not compromised thanks to the cooling effect.

  4. Amid soaking storms, California turns to farmland to funnel water into depleted aquifers

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed an executive order suspending permit requirements for #groundwater #recharge in many areas.

    The order, which lasts until June 1, will make it easier for local water districts and farms to route river flows to fields and other sites where the water can #boost #depleted #aquifers.
